I believe in unions. I will fight for unions. And I will always be proud to carry my union card in my wallet. My hope and prayer is to be able to carry that card onto the floor of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives as one of the strongest champions for unions, working people, and our economy that we’ve had in a long, long time.

Perhaps if we highlight the massive economic devastation this continuing crisis presents to our city and our communities of color, we may finally see the kind of movement that will save lives—and Philadelphia.

"One of the most important lessons I learned in the union was standing shoulder to shoulder with people who come from different walks of life than you. You understand that you all want the same thing, which is a better way of life for you and your family.”
